Here Are Your Female Ghostbusters

Paul Feig, who is directing the all-female take on the comedy classic, tweeted this picture of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, as Deadline reports that all four are reportedly in negotiations for the roles. Before you start wondering if Wiig is going to be the Venkman or the Stantz, Feig has hinted in the past that the story won’t be quite so beholden to the previous story. So count on all four comedians to play original characters, albeit characters who can crack a joke and bust a ghost at the same time.

As soon as Feig, who directed Bridesmaids and The Heat, signed on to the project, moviegoers could reasonably start hoping that Wiig and McCarthy would join the fun. But adding Saturday Night Live standouts McKinnon and Jones to the lineup is an extra stroke of genius, a way to add to the dynamic Wiig and McCarthy had in Bridesmaids and bring some additional, special weirdness to the mix. I mean, McKinnon is the woman who skewered Justin Bieber flawlessly last week. Of course she ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
